We are envisioning a new way for communities to approach swimming.
We aim to break two large barriers for Black children learning to swim: access and affordability.
We believe that swimming is a life-saving skill because it can prevent drowning, one of the leading causes of accidental death worldwide. Knowing how to swim also increases one's ability to handle emergency situations in and around bodies of water.
